Welcome to the scrutineering bay at the ALRC National Rally 2024!

 

This is where every vehicle is thoroughly inspected before hitting the course. From safety equipment and seat belts to engines, suspension, and fluid leaks, nothing goes unchecked.

 

In this video, you’ll see:
– How scrutineers ensure vehicles meet event eligibility
– Common failure points like leaking fluids and loose batteries
– Why protecting the landowner’s property and environment matters
– Step-by-step checks on a standard Land Rover 90

 

Only once the checklist is complete and everything is signed off can competitors head out and compete with confidence.
